Google has integrated a host of new features into the Google Maps app and Google Lens to help users easily and quickly find the places they want to visit and learn more about them while traveling. In this article, we cover the most important of these new features and how they can be used to improve your travel experience and make it more enjoyable and useful:
1- Immersive View Features in Google Maps:
If you're looking for places to visit in a new city that you're traveling to for the first time, Google Maps' comprehensive view can help you find places more accurately. Example: If you want to visit a specific museum in London, you can search on Google Maps and use the function (all-round view) to see the museum right in front of you, and you can also get useful information about the place, such as the weather at different times of the day or if the place you want to It was crowded at that time.
When you want to go to a restaurant or cafe, the (all-inclusive view) function allows you to experience the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant from the inside, so you can choose the place that suits you best.
This feature is only available in certain cities: London, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo. Amsterdam, Dublin, Florence and Venice will also join the project in the coming months.
2- Recents tab in Google Maps:
To make trip planning easier, Google Maps automatically arranges the places you've searched for on Maps by city using the new Nearest tab on your desktop.
Having the Nearest tab in Google Maps makes it easy to find the places you want to visit and share them with your friends and family. Starting next week, the tab for all countries in the world will be added to desktop Google Maps.
3- Google Lens search features:
Once you're in a new city, you can use Google Lens as a guide. You can access it in the Google app available for iPhone users in the App Store and for Android users in the Google Play Store. To use it, open the Google app and tap the Google Lens icon, which looks like a camera, and take a photo of any landmark, plant, food, or anything you see in the new city you're visiting that you want to visit, explore, and more to be shown to you.
4- Multisearch feature in Google Lens:
Google Lens' multi-search feature lets you search with text and images for a powerful new way to find what you're looking for. Example: If you're browsing an app or website and see a picture of a candy, you want to try it but don't know the name. All you have to do is take the photo that contains the dish, then turn on the use of lens images in Google applications and click on the search box Add a few words, for example: (near me) and you will see search results that include restaurants near you that offer this type of sweets and you can use This feature in all countries of the world while traveling.
5- Live view function in Google Maps:
The Live View feature in Google Maps works with AR technology to make it easy to navigate new cities when you're visiting for the first time. When visiting a new city, walking can be difficult without a guide who will direct you to specific restaurants, museums, attractions, ATMs, and other locations along the street you're walking on.
But with Live View, you'll see arrows on your phone screen showing where you're walking down the street, making it easy to find places like ATMs, restaurants, parks, and more. Information such as opening hours and customer reviews.
You can also use the live view feature when browsing major websites such as airports that help you find places for passengers.
